i thought corsa's were around -1.5degree negative camber from the factory. I have always thought it was too much and had thought about taking the rears down to 1.25 but werent sure about toe settings. | |

so more toe in, better handleing ie less understeer :) | |

quote: Front wheels toed out = More turn in / over steer Rear wheels toed in = stability / (possible understeer) Rear wheels toed out = Over steer lol. More negative camber = In theory better sideways grip Though caster affects the camber as wheels are turned - so bare that in mind. As robin says 'setting up the wheels for best handling' - could mean fucked tyres quickly as it'll be wearing mostly probably on the insides of the tyres. | |

Remember that setting it up for handling will mean it's not going to be particularly good on tyres (if anyone cares about tyres :lol: ) | |

I'd want a fair amount of toe out at the front, slight toe in at the rear, and more negative camber at front than rear... | |

well we spent 3 hours on it and still didnt finish it, far too many distractions to have a proper go. but we did get it half done, this is where we got to: | |

How much does it cost to have your suspension setup? As i'll hopefully be getting an adjustable set of spax shocks for the front and i haven't got a clue what i'm doing!!! | |

will you be able to get a rough idea of factory toe settings for the rear. It is in haynes already but i'd like to know if its any different. | |

The settings you find best won't be right for other people though Dave :P | |

not sure if anyone is interested but wondered if suspension settings are of any use to people as project Vsport is off to get the suspension and geometry all setup tomorrow on a proper computerised alignment testbed with corner weights etc... |
